The purpose of this study was to explore senior leaders integration of the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency model within their employee evaluation system. This case study was conducted to explore how the NCHL leadership competency model is used within their organization's employee evaluation system. The NCHL leadership competency model guided this study. The research was an exploration of themes in leadership competencies used in the healthcare organization. Data collection included in-depth interviews with 10 healthcare junior leaders in a single healthcare organization in the Midwestern United States who had at least 1 year of experience as a leader and a review of secondary data related to their job skills and annual evaluations. Using Saldana's method of data analysis, 4 primary themes emerged: leaders are transformed by vision and focus, leaders need continuous training, leaders like accountability, and leaders like influence goal creation. The 4 themes indicated that participants perceived NCHL leadership competencies integrated in their performance evaluation system to be of benefit. The findings revealed senior leaders might benefit from integrating the NCHL competency model in new leader orientation competencies, leadership training, and performance assessment tools. Positive social change may result by successful implementation of the NCHL leadership competency model strategies from this study, improving societal healthcare through efficient healthcare delivery.
